There is sunshine in my soul today

1
There is sunshine in my soul today,
  More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
  For Jesus is my light.
  O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine,
While the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face
  There is sunshine in my soul.
2
There is music in my soul today,
  A carol to my King;
And Jesus, listening, can hear
  The song I cannot sing.
3
There is springtime in my soul today,
  For when the Lord is near
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
  The flowers of grace appear.
4
There is gladness in my soul today,
  And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
  For joys laid up above.

I am a occupant in a home for elders. I am 89 years old, in good health, and believe that with God's blessing with modern learning in medicine, I may live to be much older.

This song which I have probably not heard for 70 or so years came drifting across my mind this morning bright and early. I will probably be singing it all day(both oot loud and to myself) and for the rest of my life and for eternity,

I am very grateful to have found the lyrics and the comments on it here.

Hallelujah! Jesus Christ is the Sun of righteousness. When we let him into our hearts (Rev. 3:20), He shines His light upon us, and we are not put to shame. I love this hymn, even in the night hour.

I remember my late parents with all this kind of hymn music. God is so good and I felt so Blessed to know God.

I remember singing this in my childhood church. Fortunately, the church we attend now in 2021 still uses the hymn book! I will be playing this song for an offertory Sunday evening. I enjoy thinking through the words as I play it. I enjoyed reading all your comments here about this great song. I wish churches would keep these great old hymns alive!! Thank you Hymnal. net for at least making them available.

Generally, I love singing hymns right from childhood. This day I went to bed with a heavy heart due to certain happenings. I woke about mid-night with the lyrics, "There is sunshine in my soul today...". And I thought, sunshine at this time? Then I heard, "When Jesus shows His smiling face..." Thank you Lord for showing your smiling face, which melted my heavy heart. I Love you Lord.

Just found this site. What a wonderful way to sing along with words and music provided. Because you provide chords I can play along with my guitar. Thank you very much for providing this service. May God bless you for all your efforts in doing so.

Alternate spelling for chorus:

O there’s Son-shine, blessed Son-shine,

While the peaceful, happy moments roll;

When Jesus shows His smiling face

There is Son-shine in my soul.
